Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Perception of satisfaction with the physician consultation
Time Frame: Up to 12 months after HSCT
The Physician consultation will be measured by the Patient Satisfaction Communication Questionnaire (PSCQA). Participants are asked to rate their experience with the physician consultation.
